As I remarked before, in the original three-valued framework it would be better to say that there are still just two values that a proposition can take, truth and falsity: we are simply explicitly marking the (supposed) possibility that a proposition might not (yet) get to determinately have one of ...

Notes on Propositional Logic

This means that our language of well-formed formulas in propositional logic should be inductively defined as follows. Definition 1. For a given set A of propo ...
